General CEU: Science and Human Behavior: Design of Culture

Science and Human Behavior: Design of Culture is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of language assessment, teaching sessions, caregiver coaching, and natural communication routines. In Science and Human Behavior, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

Skinner wrote extensively on culture, cultural selection, and the design of cultures. It is important to understand these terms and definitions, as well as the analyses of cultural variables that this writing spawned, including metacontingencies and memes. It is also informative to connect Skinner's analyses of culture and cultural selection to current, American cultural variables, such as religion and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

What You'll Learn

  1. Identify the definition of "culture" from a behavior analytic perspective.
  2. Differentiate between phylogenic selection, ontogenic selection, and cultural selection.
  3. Connect Skinner's analysis of culture to cultural variables in American society to.
